Question Details
Problem Statement Given a string num consisting of digits and an integer k, reorder the digits to form the lexicographically largest valid string. A string is considered valid if no specific digit appears consecutively more than k times. The goal is to maximize the value of the resulting number using the available digit frequencies.
Constraints * $1 \le k \le \text{num.length} \le 10^7$ * num consists exclusively of digits 0 through 9.
Approach The problem requires a greedy strategy to ensure the number is as large as possible. 1.
Frequency Count: Calculate the frequency of every digit (0-9) present in the input string. 2.
Greedy Construction: Iterate through the digits from largest (9) to smallest (0). * Append the current largest available digit to the result string up to k times, or until its count reaches zero. * If the limit k is reached but instances of the current digit still remain, a "separator" digit is required to break the sequence. * Identify the next largest available digit to serve as this separator. Append it once to the result and decrement its count. *
Return to the primary largest digit and continue appending. 3.
Termination: If the current largest digit has reached the consecutive limit k and no smaller digits are available to act as separators, the construction ends.
Examples *
Input: num = "3391933", k = 3 *
Output: "9933313" *
Logic: The largest digits (9s) are placed first. The 3s are placed next, but limited to a streak of three. The 1 is used as a separator, allowing the final 3 to be placed. *
Input: num = "1121212", k = 2 *
Output: "221211" *
Logic: The 2s are prioritized. After two 2s, a 1 is used as a separator. This pattern continues until no separators remain to accommodate the final 1.

Turingcom Interview Process Overview
The Turingcom interview process typically includes a recruiter screen, one to two technical phone screens, and a 4-6 round on-site or virtual on-site loop. Each round serves a distinct calibration purpose: coding rounds measure correctness, code quality, and complexity reasoning; system design rounds measure architectural judgment at the appropriate level; behavioral rounds measure ownership, leadership scope, and collaboration. Reports tagged on LeakCode from 2024-2026 show Turingcom runs a calibrated process consistent with industry norms for companies of its tier.
Difficulty calibration: Turingcom coding rounds typically run medium difficulty with follow-up depth as the senior discriminator. System design rounds expect production-grade trade-off articulation at L4+ levels. Behavioral rounds expect quantified outcomes ("reduced p99 latency from 800ms to 120ms") rather than vague impact claims. The candidates who advance consistently demonstrate clear thinking out loud rather than perfect final answers.
How To Use Turingcom Question Reports
Real candidate-reported interview questions are a calibration tool, not a memorization target. Turingcom updates its question pool every 2-4 months; memorizing exact problems risks misleading you when the interviewer uses a variant. The high-leverage approach: identify the patterns that appear repeatedly in Turingcom reports, practice those patterns on similar (not identical) problems, and use the reports to understand the interviewer's typical follow-up depth.
Filter the questions above by round type, difficulty, and recency. Focus first on reports from the past 6-12 months; older reports may reference questions that have since rotated out of Turingcom's pool. Reports tagged with quantified difficulty and explicit round type are higher-signal than reports without those tags. The metadata filters help you build a focused study plan in 1-2 hours rather than 8-10 hours of unstructured browsing.
Common Turingcom Interview Mistakes
Reports tagged "no hire" at Turingcom consistently surface a few patterns: jumping into code without clarifying requirements, coding silently for extended periods, missing edge cases (empty input, single element, large input, overflow), producing working code the candidate cannot refactor when probed, and behavioral stories that use "we" instead of "I" diluting individual signal. Strong candidates explicitly avoid these patterns by following a consistent round template.
The single most predictive failure mode in recent reports: not asking clarifying questions. Interviewers are explicitly trained to weight this dimension. Strong candidates ask 3-5 clarifying questions even on problems that look obvious; weak candidates dive into implementation immediately. Strong candidates also verbalize their approach before writing code; weak candidates code in silence and lose the communication dimension of the round's calibration.
